Our new piece of research in Science Advances shows the ultrafast optical generation and steering of a significant amount of charge carriers in metal nanolayers embedded in a dielectric matrix. …

Early 2025, we could celebrate 2 PhD degrees earned by members of the Ultrafast Nanooptics Lab. Béla Lovász and Balázs Bánhegyi both defended their PhD theses, both with summa cum …

In autumn 2024, new researchers joined our team, Eszter PAPP and Patrik GÁDOROS as predoctoral researchers and Eszter GÁBRIEL as MSc student. Welcome all!

We are proud to announce that our team member, Zsuzsanna Pápa, has been awarded the prestigious L’Oréal – UNESCO For Women in Science Award. This honor highlights her outstanding contributions …

We are thrilled to announce that our PhD student, Beatrix Fehér, has won the Best Poster Award at the 23rd International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena. Her work on Light-field-driven currents …

In our paper out in Phys. Rev. Lett., we demonstrated for the first time that by the unique combination of infrared laser sources and plasmonic nanoemitters, significantly enhanced rescattered electrons …

We have a new piece of hot electron research out in Nano Letters. We performed ultrafast tracking of hot electron populations on the nanoscale with the help of a novel …

We are proud to announce that our postdoctoral research fellow, Václav Hanus, has been awarded the prestigious Couillaud Prize by the Optica Foundation. His plans to advance solid-state carrier-envelope phase …

We developed an on-chip carrier-envelope phase detector. For more details, check the paper in Nature Communications. Our simple chip enables 3D phase scanning AND sculpting without a vacuum chamber, with …

For some hot results on hot electron probing with optical tools, see our paper in Nature Communications.
